The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and clinical results following a pre-specified bioresorbable scaffold (Absorb BVS) implantation strategy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Concerns were raised about the safety of Absorb because a non-negligible rate of thrombosis was reported within 30 days and at midterm follow-up after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
This was a prospective, multicenter study of patients with STEMI (<75 years of age with symptom onset <12 h) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with Absorb following a dedicated implantation protocol. The primary endpoint was a device-oriented composite endpoint of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization within 30 days.
During the study period, 505 patients with STEMI (16.9% of the overall STEMI population) were treated with the Absorb BVS. The mean age was 56.6 ± 9.4 years, and 487 patients (96.4%) were in Killip class I or II at admission. According to the study protocol, direct Absorb implantation was feasible in 47 patients (9.3%), whereas post-dilatation was performed in 468 cases (92.7%). Procedural success was attained in 94.8% of the cases. Dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor or prasugrel was administered at discharge in 481 patients (95.1%). At 30-day follow-up, the hierarchical device-oriented composite endpoint rate was 0.6% (0.4% cardiac death, 0.2% target vessel myocardial infarction and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization). One episode (0.2%) of probable scaffold thrombosis was reported.
A pre-specified Absorb implantation strategy in real-world patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention was feasible and associated with a low 30-day device-oriented composite endpoint rate. Mid- and long-term follow-up is strongly needed to eventually confirm these early results.

本研究旨在评估在 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者中,按照预先设定的生物可吸收支架(Absorb BVS)植入策略的可行性和临床结果。
由于在初次经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(pPCI)后 30 天内和中期随访时,报道了不可忽视的血栓形成率,人们对 Absorb 的安全性提出了担忧。
这是一项前瞻性、多中心研究,纳入了 STEMI 患者(年龄<75 岁,症状发作<12 小时),这些患者接受 pPCI 治疗,并按照专用植入方案植入 Absorb BVS。主要终点是 30 天内以器械为导向的复合终点,包括心脏性死亡、靶血管心肌梗死和缺血驱动的靶病变血运重建。
在研究期间,505 例 STEMI 患者(STEMI 总人群的 16.9%)接受 Absorb BVS 治疗。平均年龄为 56.6±9.4 岁,入院时 487 例(96.4%)患者为 Killip Ⅰ级或Ⅱ级。根据研究方案,直接植入 Absorb 是可行的,在 47 例(9.3%)患者中实施,而在 468 例(92.7%)患者中进行了后扩张。94.8%的病例获得了手术成功。在 481 例(95.1%)患者中,出院时给予替格瑞洛或普拉格雷双联抗血小板治疗。在 30 天随访时,以器械为导向的分层复合终点发生率为 0.6%(0.4%心脏性死亡,0.2%靶血管心肌梗死和缺血驱动的靶病变血运重建)。报告了 1 例(0.2%)可能的支架血栓形成。
在接受 pPCI 的 STEMI 患者中,按照预先设定的 Absorb 植入策略是可行的,与 30 天的以器械为导向的复合终点发生率低相关。需要进行中期和长期随访,以最终确认这些早期结果。(在 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)中使用 BVS:STEMI 策略-IT 前瞻性注册研究[STRATEGY-IT];NCT02601781)。
